Spray Foam Insulation & "Green" Building Products in New Home Construction
In North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia real estate markets have been flooded with homes from bankrupt spec builders, foreclosures, and just areas flat out being overbuilt. Though housing inventories are depleting, many general contractors are having trouble luring potential home buyers away from foreclosures and short sales, with the main reason being that they are trying to offer the same product at a higer price. The most popular way our general contractor clients are finding to build and sell successfully in North Carolina, South Carolina, & Georgia Housing Markets, are "green" building products & other materials that offer long term energy savings. Though cost of these products are slightly higher traditional building materials, it still cost a lot less to install "green" building products in new construction versus retrofit installation in existing homes. Another reason why "green" building materials help sell homes in North Carolina, South Carolina, & Georgia has a lot to do with the hot climate the southeast experiences during the summer, giving many fiberglass insulated homes the "hot house" effect. What we call the "hot house" effect, simply means that even with the A/C running all day, your home still fills warm or hot during the summer. Spray Foam Insulation is the best solution to eliminate the "hot house" effect, and is even more energy efficient installed in new homes, then being retrofit into existing homes due to walls and other open spaces being exposed. Here is a list of some of the most popular "green" building products and materials general contractors are using in new construction in North Carolina and South Carolina real estate markets.
- Spray Foam Insulation - our number one seller to general contractors and homeowners, as it offers lifetime insulation solutions to the potential and existing homeowners both, with 33% more energy savings then fiberglass, and payback on investment over the life of the home. Closed Cell Spray foam insulation adds structural integrity & pest control capabilities as well.
- Crawl Space Encapsulations - create a dry, clean crawl space that offers additional energy savings to homeowners, and also offers pest control qualities as well.
- Solar Energy Powered Appliances - with cost of taking a home completely solar still being very high, the development of Solar Panel technology has allowed affordable installation of solar panels to power high energy using appliances like hot water heaters and pool heaters, reducing utility cost for homeowners on average of $300/year or more.
- Standing Seam Metal Roofing - popular in style, and also an "Energy Star" rated product, offering addittional home energy efficiency for potential homebuyers. The reflectivity quality of metal roofing has been proven to lower utility cost for homeowners.
- Home Energy Monitoring Systems - Contractors this would make an excellent housewarming gift for new homeowners that can lower enegy cost even more. Old TV's, computers, and such can be increasing utility cost for the family. Low Cost Installtion & Monitoring make it the perfect housewarming gift for new homeowners, and an addittional weapon for existing homeowners to fight high utility cost.
